John Anderson - Lower On The Hog
GI've been workin' at a sawmill earnin' every dime I make
GLookin' at my check stub Dcussin' what the tax man Gtakes
My Gbaby's dependin' on me oh Lord to bring the bacon home
But Git's just salt pork we're Deating lower on the Ghog
Chorus:
But if I Cdie in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way
With Ghonest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say
But Cafter we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone
I'm broke, it's Dgone, what's goin' on
There's a Emlot less scrap to Fthrow out to the Gdog
I'm Emmakin' more now and Featin' lower on the Ghog
There's people standin' with their hands out formin' a welfare line 
Savin' their back while I'm out breakin' mine
I ain't worried about the federal budget or the L.A. city smog
I'm workin' overtime and eatin' lower on the hog
Chorus:
But if I Cdie in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way
With Ghonest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say
But Cafter we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone
I'm broke, it's Dgone, what's goin' on
There's a Emlot less scrap to Fthrow out to the Gdog
I'm Emmakin' more now and Featin' lower on the Ghog
There's a Emlot less scrap to Fthrow out to the Gdog
I'm Emmakin' more now and Featin' lower on the Ghog

John Anderson - Lower On The Hog

I've been workin' at a sawmill earnin' every dime I make

G D G

Lookin' at my check stub cussin' what the tax man takes

My baby's dependin' on me oh Lord to bring the bacon home

G D G

But it's just salt pork we're eating lower on the hog

Chorus:

But if I die in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way

With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say

But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone

I'm broke, it's gone, what's goin' on

Em F G

There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog

Em F G

I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog

There's people standin' with their hands out formin' a welfare line

Savin' their back while I'm out breakin' mine

I ain't worried about the federal budget or the L.A. city smog

I'm workin' overtime and eatin' lower on the hog

Chorus:

But if I die in the mornin' they can't say I didn't pay my way

With honest sweat and elbow grease and doin' what the foremen say

But after we buy groceries, pay the rent and the telephone

I'm broke, it's gone, what's goin' on

Em F G

There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog

Em F G

I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog

Em F G

There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog

Em F G

I'm makin' more now and eatin' lower on the hog
